Hoping the link works.
I found this utterly depressing and made me want to scream!

Link didn't work!

Feck

here

I have just gone onto guardian website and read it , omg silly woman treated like shit by a man !

That's really fucked up

Already a thread on this.

What a waste of a life.

I would wager he was wanting her to confront him. No passwords, shagging other people in the next room, etc.

Very strange dynamic going on there.

Ijust - where?

Article my foot
It reads like someone's homework from their creative writing course
It's made up imo

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2575030-to-think-that-any-man-who-takes-35-years-to-stop-cheating-on-his-wife-is-no-prize

Suzanne you're aware that many women stick by philanderers for life? How d'you think they go about rationalising their choice?

I'm with suzannecaravaggio I think it's made up. If, with the 1% chance that article was actually real, why would she share that?? Fantasist nonsense

She sounds so much like other women who've made the same choice that there's nothing in the account sadly that is any way implausible.

You can't believe perhaps anyone would be so self-deluding, but it's not uncommon. You see exactly the same thing in abusive relationships.

Yseult I'm not disputing that people forgive and rationalise the actions of cheating partners

The account however reads like fiction, because of the writing style.
I'd say its a fictionalised conglomeration.

It's not so much as forgiving and rationalising, more choosing to self-deceive.

What particularly about the style?

Ugh I read it earlier and have commented under the article a few times.

I think made up or not it perfectly describes the mindset of women who choose to 'turn a blind eye' and 'keep the marriage together'.

It's not about the kids at all though many claim it is, it's about 'winning' at any cost and keeping up appearances and not really giving your children a second thought.

What I means is facr can be written as fiction, fiction was fact, you can't really tell from the style unless you know the person.
